Steorn's perpetual motion claims are extraordinary. They've raised millions from investors, and 2007 is the year that this will all change the world or Steorn will fall apart. Which will it be? Find out here first.

It looks like Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, will be giving a talk in Dublin this December on Orbo's principles of operation. It's been a while since we've heard from Steorn, so hopefully someone will be able to post a recording of the video:

According to Steorn's website, there will be additional talks given in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

Sean's coming out party. This is the first in a series of lectures explaining how they got Orbo so badly wrong, especially when you are great engineers like Steorn. A revelation of how enthusiasm, unbridled passion, guinness and investors dosh skews the scientists perspective.

Great, another stupid talk that Sean does that involves nothing but hot wind. What is point? Talks in universities around the world? Who does he think he is kidding? I doubt a single university will let him on campus. Boo!

"Our 'talk' initiative is designed to give people within the technology development community an opportunity to understand the Orbo proposition ...""...will involve a sequence of talks in universities around the world, including the US/Europe and the Middle East"

Holy Sheiks, Middle East - they have the biggest development community in magnetic gadgets of the whole world.

Seems odd to me that there is supposedly going to be this 'talk initiative' and yet there is no mention of it anywhere except that freeenergytracker site and that other blog mentioned earlier. It isn't even announced on Steorn's homepage. Seems the only way to get at it is by knowing the URL or clicking it from the free energy site or that other one.

I found this odd too. The Big Date is only about two weeks! Where is this talk which is going to change all of physics going to take place? Who is invited? What is the format of the meeting? Will the press be there? Will there be audio/video/transcripts?

I think that this is the beginning of the revolution that Steorn watchers have secretly held onto hope for - this initiative by Sean will undoubtedly signal the merging of Orbo technology and cold fusion research.

Infinite power generation and water powered flying car reality will be upon us sooner than we realize, and we need to prepare for the revised paradigm of reality that awaits us. Its important that we pay close attention to Steorn lest its intellectual and physical bounties be sold off to foreign interests with a vested interest in maintaining status quo power relationships and infrastructures.

Steorn is a sponsor of "an annual enterprise competition for undergraduate students of the Dublin Institute of Technology". So it is no surprise they get a chance to give a "talk". On anything they want probably. Hopefully the kids at DIT will ask hard questions.

On second thought, maybe Steorn is taking advantage of their yearly opportunity to give a talk to burnish their image a bit. Maybe they figure it will add some legitimacy to the orbo project and keep the investors quiet.

Maybe they think they have something and maybe they are crooks. Either way, this might buy them a little time, and money.

I can't see any other reason for doing it. As someone said, if they have OU, why f**k around with giving talks, why not just unveil the thing in a blaze of publicity?

Whatever happens at the talk, there won't be any orbo. The only chance for entertainment is if Maryugo and Pennies jet over to ask insulting questions.

I don't know if Tracy Kidder is writing the book that Sean mentioned way back when, but he seems like the right man for the job.

No matter how it turns out, it should make for an entertaining and instructive story.

It would be nice if the Mark Goldes conjob could be mentioned as a contrast, maybe showing them at the end to be two different approaches to the con, with Steorn being much more sophisticated.

If a few of the behavioral psychologists who hang out in the Steorn forum could be brought into the mix, and some in-depth interviews with the investors added, a good writer might be able to immortalize the scam.

Of course if Steorn turns out to be the real thing, then Goldes might better be dropped, and the psychologists portrayed as opportunistic clowns.

However it is done, I'm sure Kidder is the man to make the most of it.

With the media descending on Room 134 the damage to DIT by association with modern day rain dancers has never been clearer.

DIT is carelessly close to tarnishing it's good reputation. The President & the board of Governors of DIT will face a lot of pressure if Steorn uses the institution's good name to give credence to their ridiculous claim.

I couldn't find a source for this quote, the "nothing is impossible" idea is often attributed to Victorian engineering in general. This reflects more on the audacious nature of those projects and the confidence (some say arrogance) of men like Brunel, than on whether engineers have God-like powers. It's worth noting that not even all of Brunel's projects were successful.

Anyway, even if Brunel did say it, it's not true. Like Sean he might have believed nothing is impossible, but that speaks to delusion, which Sean has been accused of.

"Why is there a screw missing on the left side of the Steorn Talks poster? Does it symbolize something?"

That's really funny.

If nothing else, it must be made absolutely certain that there is a full video and a transcript of the event. Or will Sean pull a Karl Rove and demand no recording devices of any kind... including pencils?

This is also as good an opportunity as any to arrest Mr. McCarthy once and for all for perpetuating this despicable fraud.

I did not assert that the quote was valid; I merely asserted that Sean was not the first person to attribute that quote to Brunel. To prove my assertion, I need provide only one example, and I have provided such.

From Steorn Forum (today):007:Anyone reading this neverending stream of debunking can be sure that there will be more talks after the Dublin event. You can be absolutely confident about that. When it happens and you're reading this months from now be sure and remember what I said at the time.

Harvey:Uh oh...I missed something, what did 007 "say at the time" again?

Why lecture when you have an actual Orbo in your hands - albeit in need of just a few new bearings! Just put in the new bearings, place it in a cool enclosure, and vindicate the Kinetica demo. This is a house of cards that should have fallen long ago. I can only believe that its investors don't want the fraud disclosed since their investments would be lost. I imagine that they are hoping for new money and some type of payment arrangement to get out before the collapse.
